2014_part 1

new hope ! new year ! what could be different from the "2014" ?

Well...let me think of the past year.

After a quite night of 31st Dec 2013 at Zakir hussain, I was in the hydraulic lab when a thought crossed mind. I thought that why things are so lethargic with me? is it me who is not able to handle the demand for the given situation ?.  Surprisingly I got a quick answer. YES. My life was going on the condition of "as and when required". I wanted to go back to my disciplined childhood life. I wanted to quit something and add something good to my daily routine. The resolve was just made. But it did not take more than 30 minutes to get on the same temptation driven crazy demand. Although knowing well that a moment back I decided against it , I got on with it. And the resolve died shameful death where it began. Things continued as it was in the past.

Moving smoothly in academic through next five months. In may , my final seminar finished. In first week of May I went for assessment interview. It was as smooth as butter. Promotion was in the pipeline of hope as being denied in the past year. Holi at Zakir was good but marred by the suicide of a guy from the PG in MMM. Nonetheless, life went on. Last month at IIT was same as what happens when a batch passes out. No dues , clearance formalities and send off parties. One after another guys started leaving with new hopes and opportunities. Some with job some without and obviously life of uncertainty for those who didnt get a reliable job. Two of them joined PHD at the IIT. Rest of the Guys left with hope. Well a degree from IIT will always land you in some Job. The HOPE is good enough to boost the confidence. when I see them now, all of them are satisfactorily placed in wishful job or academic options.

I left IIT on 22nd June. I am thankful to Havya and Saumydweep for droping my family at railways station at 0200hrs on 23rd June. I could send off all but one , Havya. Well He also left after 20 days finishing his project to a satisfactorily. Somu and Subhadweep got on with their carrier. SRK switched many PSUs. Grv, Peri, Preetam and Havya joined their first campus job. Jemty went forhis old college teaching. Harshad joined faculty in Pune. Gurnule got a decent job after a month in Pune. Sarang return to IIT as project associate under his professor hoping to get recommendation for PHD abroad. Some boys joined Jab first and completed their project subsequently. I returned back to my job as expected from a sponsored candidate. 

Overall, stay at IIT was a wonderful dream, to be cherished for life. Prof. Ghosh Moulic has been an inspiration although he has shown me my real value many times during my association with him in project work. I could not make any paper but learned few things that opened up new ways for my future endeavor, hopefully.  I joined Gym and Swimming pool at IIT. Discontinued Gym after few day but I was regular in the pool. So finally I learned swimming. Family time will be explained in a separate post if I get time to write about it.

As scheduled I joined back my Job on 25th June. Stayed few days in guest house before getting accommodation in the hostel. But a big surprise was waiting for me here. A good friend and colleague Manoj resigned from the service for admin services. Missing it by one mark, he left to dedicate his one year fully to improve upon it. He was given a good send off from offices as well as near and dear ones. first few days I could not digest it. But it was a cruel reality of the egoistic system of the organisation on 30th June when result was officially printed.  His bold decision was found to be a solid slap on the system. We were having good time in last few days of his stay with us in the office as well as after office hours. Off-course I miss his smiling face and life of a wanderer. He had quality time here down south.  

My life continued as usual as had been in past 7 years with same boss and same work. "boring". relectently I started doing was I was supposed to do officially but unsatisfied. In addition to my troubled and un-controllable family life on parents front. Setting up home again after a gap of 2 years here was a piece of cake as all the needful items were kept carefully by my good friend Tusar who return a year before me from his  PG course. Any amount of thanks will do a dis-regards for his kind- ful act. In my absence , he kept my item safely with just a request I made during his visit to our college. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Compassion of all other known fellow got vanished when I asked for such help before leaving. That is the ground reality of this social world.  In the end a lesson well learned.
